Is it required to issue invoices?

Question

Hello,

as a self-employed in secondary occupation who carries out work for private persons, am I required to draw up quotations and invoices?

I read that this is not required in this case, but that it is required if you provide services to parties with their own vAT number?

How can the tax authorities check your professional income if there are no invoices to submit?

You always have to leave some kind of "trace" in your sales accounting, sorry for describing it so vaguely :p

That trace can consist of a sales invoice, the most classic way. This is also required if you do something for another entrepreneur, so always make that sales invoice!

But that trail can also consist of daily receipts. You can do this for private individuals and under certain conditions, but you should read the article in the learning center, where it is stated. Then fill in those daily receipts under the income tab, which is easy for sales to private individuals! Incidentally, it doesn't matter whether you are a part-time or full-time entrepreneur, daily receipts are always allowed to private persons (well, if you meet those conditions, but read that article in the learning center).

But be aware that sometimes it's just handy to make a sales invoice. In terms of general terms and Conditions, providing your bank account so that the customer can pay afterwards, the payment deadline, etc. It's easier to just put that on a sales invoice.But if none of that is necessary (in terms of practical convenience, that is), then I also use daily receipts.

Damn, if only I had known that earlier :) I'll view those daily receipts!
